Origin Notes and History of Ebeys Landing
References to Ebeys Landing that document the origin of its place name
EBEYS LANDING, on the northwestern shore of Whidbey Island, near the present Fort Casey, in Island County. Recent developments of lines and means of transportation have made the "Landing" obsolete, but in pioneer days it was of great importance, lying just opposite Port Townsend, on the shore of Admiralty Inlet. Colonel Isaac N. Ebey was one of the most prominent and highly respected citizens of the early times. On the night of August 11, 1857, he was murdered and his head was carried away by a band of northern Indians. That mournful tragedy has always been associated with the historic name of Ebeys Landing. For a sketch of Colonel Ebey and his family, see the Washington Historical Quarterly, for July, 1916, beginning at page 239.
